Narrative

Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the stories others gloss over or blow off. In this episode, Meagan sits down with violin professor and UFO experiencer David Russell. He first experienced the phenomenon as a teenager in his family’s kitchen, where he saw an orb with the outline of a face. Together, they discuss and analyze videos of David's sightings, reconciling religion and experiences with the phenomena and why David believes they are seeking him out. Ultimately, he says, “I don’t think any of us know what we’re dealing with.” Watch Reality Check Q&A with Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJLRExhMvX6wKyNzy0hr_QM3 Watch more episodes of Unreported here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R- #UFOs #religion #phenomenon CREDITS Host: Meagan Medick Executive Producers: Andy Gipson, Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Editor: Kanyon Lyons NewsNation`s Unreported with Meagan Medick is built on the idea that some of the most important stories are the ones that don`t make the headlines.
